hamiltont/docker-cron repository overview

⁠Docker-Cron

Use Cron⁠ inside Docker. Looks for crontab at /cron/crontab

Note: Does not use actual cron binary, as there are issues running it inside Docker. Uses devcron⁠ instead.

⁠Use

This example mounts the folder containing your crontab file. Presumably you would put your scripts in the same file and reference them in your crontab as /cron/myscript.sh

$ docker run -v /host/folder/containing/crontab:/cron -d hamiltont/docker-cron

This example mounts two folders, one with the crontab and one with the scripts. You need to use /scripts/myscript.sh in your crontab

$ docker run -v /host/folder/containing/crontab:/cron -v /host/folder/scripts:/scripts -d hamiltont/docker-cron
